1st Match // [video | action] New Bark Town

[fuelthefire]

[The video feed starts off with an eye.

Just one, surrounded by what looks like a mask. After a moment, the eye pulls away and the rest of the mask, which completely covers the owner's face minus the one eye, is revealed.

The voice underneath the mask is guttural and growling, but perfectly audible despite the barrier.]

Mother said to have fun and be careful.

[He rolls his eye and grumbles a bit, quietly at first but quickly growing louder. As he speaks he changes from his indoor voice to his outdoor voice, barking out the words louder and louder as he brings the camera close to his face again:]

How can I HAVE FUN WITHOUT MY AXE!??

[Somebody mad.]

Comments

[shiro2hero]

[Oh my god.]

... You really don't have to yell. We can hear you.

[fuelthefire]

[He laughs in response, an unhinged little giggle that quickly grows into a deep, maniacal guffaw.]

MhhmhmhnnmahahhahahHAHAHAHAHA!! SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE KIDS IN THE BACK!

[Volume control is for squares.]

[shiro2hero]

[Why is everyone here weird.]

[Why.]

[Why can't there be one normal conversation.]

I'll take that as a 'no' on the no yelling.

[fuelthefire]

Mmmuhuhahahaha...

[That's the crazy laughter dying away in a happy little giggle. He got u good, didn't he?? And dude, if you want a normal conversation, you picked the wrong psycho to chat up.]

Have you seen my axe?

[Also, he's kind of fixated. But at least he asked that question in a normal voice?]

[shiro2hero]

[He really should have seen this one coming, wow.]

No.

No, I haven't seen anyone's axe.

[fuelthefire]

[He growls at that, and grumbles briefly, eye narrowing as he mutters.]

Useless!

[Grumble grumble]

[shiro2hero]

There's probably one... somewhere.

[fuelthefire]

[He shakes his head vigorously.]

Not the same!

[shiro2hero]

Then you might be out of luck.

[fuelthefire]

GNghnghh...[He growls in wordless frustration, rolling his head back on his neck and muttering unintelligibly for a few moments before straightening up to lean forward, and shoving his face up close to the device again.]

THEN I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

[What money he means, no one can say. He didn't pay for the axe, as far as he knows, and he certainly didn't pay for the trip into New Bark Town.

Just put it down to him being mad as a hatter or smth.]

[shiro2hero]

[Y e a h, this guy is looney tunes. Wow.]

Good luck with that, buddy.

[fuelthefire]

[For some reason, the guy's response is funny as heck to him, and he starts to laugh again.]

MuahahahAHAHAHAH!!

THANK YOU KINDLY, MYSTERIOUS STRANGER!!

[shiro2hero]

...

You're welcome?

[What just happened here.]

[fuelthefire]

[You've made a new friend, sir, is what just happened.

Krieg pulls his face away from the device (thankfully, right?), and thumps his naked manly chest.]

Krieeeg.

[He drags out the syllable of his name in a long, low growl.]

[shiro2hero]

[How. What. Who. What's happening.]

[What does 'Krieg' me-- oh!]

Shiro.

[Hooooo boy, this should be interesting.]

[fuelthefire]

Mnuahahaha! I feel a deep, dark warmth!

[Nice to meet'cha, friend! :) ]

[shiro2hero]

...

Maybe we shouldn't... say that anymore.

i am so sorry

[fuelthefire]

[Oh no. Oh no, he really shouldn't--]

Don't worry - It's a goooood touch.

[His voice as he says that is a warm, deep croon. Trollololol]

I LAUGHED

[shiro2hero]

Y'know, I... probably should go.

Okay good

[fuelthefire]

Nuhuahaha...

[Krieg winks - a tricky feat when you only have one visible eye, but he pulls it off well, tipping his head slightly to emphasize the gesture.]

Catch you later, Sugar~

[Congrats, Shiro, that's your new nickname. You're welcome.]

[shiro2hero]

[Is it bad his only thought is "At least it starts with the same sound as my name"? That's probably a bad thing.]

[And he'll just. Leave it there. With his face in his hands.]

[Why did he do this.]
